Re: PSPP-BUG: PSPP make check errors

[John Darrington]

Can you send your config.log file (it's large so you might have to compress it).

Also, can you try compiling a very simple "hello world" program, like:

#include <stdio.h>

void main (void)
{
  printf ("hello world\n");
}



Thanks.

     I think the standard C library is /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so. If this does not 
make sense, can you tell me how to determine the standard C library?
     
     stdio.h file:
     
     /* Define outside of namespace so the C++ is happy.  */
     struct _IO_FILE;
     
     __BEGIN_NAMESPACE_STD
     /* The opaque type of streams. This is the definition used elsewhere. */
     typedef struct _IO_FILE FILE;   <<<--- LINE48
     _END_NAMESPACE_STD
     
     The error reads:  /usr/include/stdio.h:48:1: error: expected ?=?, ?,?, 
?;?, ?asm? or ?__attribute__? before ?typedef? typedef struct _IO_FILE FILE;
     
     Thanks so much for your help!

     This is strange.   It looks almost like a problem with your standard C 
library.
     What standard C library do you have installed? and what version?
     
     What do you see immediately before line 48 in /usr/include/stdio.h ?
